"Cozy game" refers to a video game genre characterized by non-violent mechanics, relaxing atmospheres, gentle pacing, and low-stress gameplay loops. Players typically engage in comforting activities such as farming, decorating, foraging, crafting, and building relationships with non-player characters rather than fighting high-stakes battles. The term gained widespread currency on platforms like Twitch, TikTok, and YouTube among gamers seeking stress relief and wholesome digital environments. Developers specifically tailor cozy games with soothing soundtracks, pastel aesthetics, and open-ended goals that allow players to unwind without the risk of heavy punishment or failure.
